Many expressions that we use in American English come from novels. Today we will look at some of them from Lewis Carroll's famous novel "Alice in Wonderland" in detail.The story is about a young girl falling down a rabbit hole. When she finally lands, she finds herself in a strange world and meets some strange characters.
The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit, who runs past her and says some strange words. Alice chases(追赶)him, and that is where her adventures begin. In English, chasing a white rabbit means chasing an impossible clue and finding yourself in a misleading situation.Then, as she runs after the rabbit, she falls down
the rabbit hole into Wonderland.
To fall down the rabbit hole can mean to enter a confusing(令人困惑的)situation. However, usually we use this expression to mean we get interested in something to the point of distraction(分神).It often happens by accident and is about something not that meaningful.
Later in the story, Alice meets the March Hare and the Hatter at a crazy tea party. Hares(野兔)have long been thought to behave excitedly in March, which is their mating (交配)season. Scientifically, this may not be true. But to be mad as a March Hare means that someone is completely mad, or crazy. The expression mad as a Hatter also means to be completely crazy. Of the two，mad as a Hatter is more common. But don't tell the March Hare. Who knows how he will react(反应)!
Near the end of the story, Alice meets the Queen of Hearts. A woman who is called a Queen of Hearts likes controlling others and always tries to control everything and everyone around her.
4. Which of the following situations best fits the expression to fall down a rabbit hole?
A. When Tom was taking a walk in the forest, he suddenly fell over onto the ground.
B. When Mary turned on the TV, she chose to watch the talk show programme as usual.
C. When Jim was looking for a sport book online, he lost himself in many reports on superstars.
D . When Lily was thinking about how to solve a math problem. she came up with a good idea.
5. According to the passage, the expression to be mad as a March Hare .
A. describes how hares behave in March
B. shows hares' characteristics in a scientific way
C. is used more often than the expression mad as a Hatter
D. has the same meaning as the expression mad as a Hatter
6.Which character in“Alice in Wonderland” wants others to obey his or her orders in every situation?
A. Alice.
B. The March Hare.
C. The Hatter.
D. The Queen of Hearts.
7. The writer mainly wants to in this passage.
A. introduce a famous novel and its language style
B. introduce a famous writer Lewis Carroll and his novels
C. explore some English expressions from a famous novel
D. explain why many expressions in English come from novels
C
To get an extra 14 years of life, don't smoke, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and drink alcohol in a proper amount. That is according to a study published this Monday in the Public Library of Science Medicine Journal .
After tracking more than 20, 000 people aged 45 to 79 years in the UK from about 1993 to 2008, Kay-Tee Khaw of the University of Cambridge and his colleagues found that people who adopted these four healthy habits lived an average of 14 years longer than who didn't. "We're known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but we've not seen this benefit before," said Susan Jebb, head of Nutrition and Health at Britain's Medical Research Council. "The benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat and social class they came from. "
Study participants(参与者) scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intake.
Public health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping people to adopt these changes. But because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes, it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviors would surely gain 14 years.
"We can't say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things, " said Dr Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization. "The 14 years is an average across the population of what's theoretically(埋论上地) possible. "
"Most people know that things like a good diet matter and that smoking isn't good for them," Susan Jebb said. "We need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change. "
8. We can infer from the passage that _____________ .
A. people are unaware of the harm of their bad habits
B. drinking alcohol does no harm to our health and helps us live longer
C. the government should make people change their bad habits by force
D. not everyone will live 14 years longer by adopting the four healthy habits
9. Which of the following DOESN'T belong to the four healthy habits?
A. Eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day.
B. Doing proper exercises in the morning every day.
C. Drinking alcohol in the proper amount.
D. Having a physical examination every year.
10. Which of the following can be inferred according to the passage?
A. Susan Jebb did not take part in the study.
B. The study observed people as well as tested specific changes.
C. There s no need for people under 45 to adopt these good habits.
D. Only those from first class can benefit from these healthy behaviors.
11. What should be the best title of this passage?
A. Smoking Cuts You 14 Years
B. How to Live a Healthier Life
C. Healthy Habits May Give 14 Years
D. How to Make Your Life Longer than Others

Clothing(服装)is a language. We can look at traditional clothing to know more about culture.
Africa has a long history and a rich culture, and this is shown in traditional dress. The three colours—red, gold and green, are often commonly(通常地)used in the clothing. The first colour represents the blood of millions of people who fought for freedom; the second, rich resources of the African earth; and the third, the grassland of home.
Because clothing has strong social meanings, people are very careful in choosing what to wear. It would be a serious mistake to wear the wrong clothes, or to dress in the wrong way. For example, in Ghana, a woman should wear her waistband(腰带)differently according to the importance of the social event.
Traditional dress also tells us about everyday life. African designs are famous for loose(宽松的)clothing. The temperature there can be very high during the daytime but very low at night, so it requires that the clothes are comfortable for daily life.
Today although more and more young people like wearing Western clothes, especially in big cities in Africa,

One possible version：
Are the public bicycles necessary?
Liyang Public Bicycle System has been into use for nearly a year. Recently, our class had a discussion on whether the public bicycles are necessary. Different students have different ideas.
Eighty percent of the students agree with it.. They think the public bicycles are necessary. First, it is easier for people to travel. Second, it can help protect the environment. Third, it can reduce traffic accidents. But twenty percent of the students don't agree with them. They think it costs too much to buy and fix bicycles. And they also think they can ride their own bikes when going out. What's more, they think it is not convenient to rent bikes in town. In my opinion, we should encourage more people to use the public bicycles because it will bring us a more beautiful world.。
